Sitting in the comfortable chairs, Eleonora and Xue Ren were so close to each other that snow beauty had hard time holding herself. The smile on her face exposed her bliss and Eagle Empress bad mood immediately changed.
The usual, cold, and aloof princess was now blushing sweetly from simple touch of man. Nolea rested her head on her palm as she kept watching the snow beauty embarrassing her even more. As her maids came up with tea and snacks, Nolea continued her talk.
Just when Eleonora ended her mind transmission with Xue Ren. She had told him that Eagle Empress isn't bad person, but she doesn't involve herself in disputes between factions as she holds her whole race's future on her shoulders.
When other Empresses had taken part of their races with themselves here, Empress Noela took her whole race that was close to extinction... No one knew what had happened in their world... If people from Cursus Royalty knew that Nolea literally begged and sold herself together with her race's artifacts, so that she could save her race, then what would they think?
But she still had told it for Eleonora as she felt pity and closeness, so that snow beauty could understand it... Nolea herself also had helped for Eleonora's mother to cover Sky Hope territory with strong barriers, thus...
"If you stay within your territory, then nothing bad can happen to you."
She said as she spoke about recent happenings inside the capital. Since the emperor had left for the 'beauty hunting', Seven Slashes Faction began moving in the shadows.
'Seven Slashes...'
Xue Ren narrowed his eyes. Apparently, the man who is number 1 in the ranking ladder is from this faction and somehow got control over it. Of course, everything is in the shadows, but Nolea had her own connections, thus, confirmed it.
"They hunt those from Mad Faction together with Blaze Alight Faction. From the outside, it's seen as 'friendly skirmishes.' But how can they be friendly if they mostly end up with one side dying?"
Empress Nolea shook her head sadly. Cursus Empire was her home for more than 500 years, but because of her stupid husband, not only she had lost her friend, but also her race is now in danger once more...
Then, she strangely took out similar token to that of Snow Hope. Telling Eleonora that her mother told her to pass it down when dangers erupts in the capital...
"This is key to your barriers around Snow Hope Fractions."
"But... I can control them."
"Yes, to defense, but not to attack."
Nolea chuckled at the startled Eleonora. Meanwhile, Xue Ren realized that this Eagle Beauty doesn't have any hope for Cursus Royalty anymore.
'She probably works to ensure her race's survival...'
-
Leaving the palace, Xue Ren and Eleonora also said good bye to themselves. He held her tightly caressing those hot cheeks that burn only for him.
"I have to check everything at my home."
That was the reason she couldn't come back to home with Xue Ren. Eleonora was also considerate and didn't want to chim in into his reunion with 'first' women... Using the excuse of new snow hope token she had gotten from Empress Nolea, Eleonora left Xue Ren leaving behind one sentence.
"Come next week, I will prepare dinner."
It seems like Eleonora have taken liking into cooking.
"Silly, I will come tomorrow or day after tommorow."
-
The capital was strange. Commoners were strangely looking around as if they were scared of moving on the streets... Those 'friendly skirmishes.' were taking place everywhere in the capital distrubing the quiet lives of common people...
Here, Xue Ren noticed two familiar vampires.
"Yo Rure."
"Hmm?"
It was Rure who was together with his sister, Adrana. Both of them held handbangs as if they just came out from the shop. Why they hadn't used their space rings wasn't in Xue Ren mind. He took one of handbangs from the little beauty making her blush upon their contact.
He... was her first love. Love at first sight! And Xue Ren himself knew he wants her too as he already summoned her 'fire' version.
Magic doesn't lie~~
"How are you, little beauty?"
"Um... fine... Thank you..."
She was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak, Xue Ren barely could her hear! Thus, he joined the vampire's stroll and they had same direction. Of course, Rure began cursing loud about number 1....
"This motherfucker, shitty bastard! What the fuck is his problem? He even attacked my people when they just came back from the mission. Dickless piece of shit."
"..."
Adrana nodded to everything...
"Shouldn't you blame the emperor? It's all because of him."
"Yeah, another shit with small dick."
Both Rure and Xue Ren assumed that the man with number 1 ranking got control over Seven Slashes faction with his D. Of course, Xue Ren didn't dare to say that loud during the talk with Empress. Even though he felt like she has no feeling for the emperor.
Soon...
"How about I show you whether it's small or not? Medium race shits?"
The charming male voice rang out throughout the street. This very voice was enough to make chaos in the streets as commoners began leaving their houses, escaping from the street... Xue Ren got shocked at their reactions...
'Poor people.'
Turning around, he noticed a man with blonde hair and bright blue eyes. The sword of his was white illuminating the surroundings brightly. He pointed this very sword at Rure with cheeky smile. Wearing his uniform of Seven Slashes, he had handsome looks indeed.
As for Xue Ren, he was of course with Eleonora's butler clothes that he had taken liking to. Rure had full black uniform while Adrana long black dress. However...
""Blood Art.""
"Haha! It's truly funny. Little shits who doesn't even have Divinity want to take control over some medium worlds."
The blonde man was speaking with audible ridicule. Soon, his sword began releasing white substance... It was bubbling looking very strange... Then, he used it to release sword slash mixing it with Sword Qi which was something that vampires didn't know...
Or atleast Rure, Xue Ren and Adrana...
Still, the group wasn't scaried, rather, they were eager to jump at this motherfucker. The first one to do so, was little beauty... In fact, it was first time seeing woman using Blood Art, thus, Xue Ren focused his eyes on her and got stupefied...
